It looks like macOS Sonoma doesn't delete /tmp files in containers periodically or on reboot, like it does for system /tmp or $TMPDIR.

Is it a bug or is it in on purpose?

Our app didn't delete its temp files and some users have quite a few of them. We will make the fix so that we clear after ourselves in the future but should we delete temp files manually on start for existing users?
